260 WU JINHAI AND TANG YANI
As if being electrocuted by a high-voltage current, Wu Jinhai gasped in surprise before he hurriedly lifted his head from Bai Chen’s shoulder. Frowning at the Werewolf Prince, he then said, “If I was planning to leave you, don’t you think I would secretly leave you without explaining everything to you?”
Bai Chen questioned the taller man, but he ended up getting a question from the man when the two of them once again looked at each other. For so reason, Bai Chen assud that there was a pain in Wu Jinhai’s eyes when the man threw the question at him.
“So, you won’t leave ?” Bai Chen was also the sa, and he didn’t directly answer the man’s question either. Instead, he asked the man back.
“I won’t leave you, Bai Chen,” Wu Jinhai firmly answered Bai Chen’s question. “I have indeed done the two things I had planned, but I still have other things I want to do. Maybe it wasn’t in my original plan, but it’s my priority now.”
What Wu Jinhai had just said was quite confusing, and that was why Bai Chen looked puzzled after hearing it. “You’re planning sothing else? What’s that?” He asked again.
At this mont, Wu Jinhai did not imdiately answer Bai Chen’s question, and he simply gently landed his left hand on Bai Chen’s right cheek before using his thumb to caress the Werewolf Prince’s smooth skin.
“My priority is to protect you, Bai Chen. Before I can ensure that you are safe without anyone threatening your safety, I will not leave you as long as you don’t ask to leave.”
Did soone just play fireworks in Bai Chen’s heart? Why did he suddenly feel that his heart ca alive with colorful fireworks suddenly exploding within his chest?
It was not even a long statent that escaped Wu Jinhai’s lips, but they were enough to make Bai Chen forget how to breathe. Even when he was a baby, his mother didn’t need to teach him how to breathe through his nose, but he suddenly forgot how to do it just because of what Wu Jinhai told him.
.....
“So, you’re assuming that soone is threatening my safety now?” Finally, Bai Chen rembered how to breathe, and that was why he was also able to ask the black-haired man for an explanation.
After hearing Bai Chen’s question, Wu Jinhai withdrew his hand from the man’s cheek, but his gaze was still fixed on the man. “Yes,” he answered. “Even your mother was killed, and I won’t let you get hurt either.”
When Wu Jinhai suddenly ntioned Tang Yani, Bai Chen’s heart skipped a beat. “I rember you telling that you knew about my mother’s death when we were in the Forbidden Forest. You didn’t have a chance to tell about it then, so can you tell more about it now?”
Secretly, Bai Chen hoped that the taller man could help him complete the mission related to Tang Yani. When he was sent to another dinsion to learn the truth about what happened all those years ago, he received a notification from the system about the progress of the mission, but since the percentage had not yet reached 100%, Bai Chen knew that he still had work harder before he could officially complete the mission.
“Your mother... she is a good person,” Wu Jinhai said, but he let his gaze wander as if he was trying to rember sothing related to Bai Chen’s mother.
When Bai Chen heard that statent, he didn’t think it was anything strange because he had witnessed how Tang Yani interacted with little Wu Jinhai all those years ago. Tang Yani sounded very concerned about Wu Jinhai even if the boy was the one to harm her son, and Bai Chen knew that only good people could do such a thing.
Tang Yani’s heart was definitely pure and sincere, and that was why Bai Chen could understand why Wu Jinhai would say such a thing.
“Maybe you’ve overheard our conversation when I let you see what happened years ago using the power of your crystal, but you surely don’t know that that day wasn’t the last ti I saw your mother, right?” Wu Jinhai spoke again when Bai Chen gave no verbal response, and Bai Chen was once again dumbfounded after hearing the man’s question.
“That wasn’t the last ti you saw my mother? Did you see her again after that day’s eting?” Surprised, Bai Chen imdiately asked the man in red who was still sitting so close to him.
He didn’t know if the real Bai Chen didn’t know anything about it either. Even if there were tis when he saw strange mories in his head, never once did he see Tang Yani tell Bai Chen that she t soone nad Wu Jinhai.
But maybe the mory fragnt that appeared in his mind wasn’t complete, right? Maybe not everything ca to his mind, and that was why he didn’t know that Tang Yani had t Wu Jinhai again after the eting at the river?
“Yeah, that was not the last ti, but you might not know anything about it because your mother and I agreed to keep everything a secret,” Wu Jinhai replied, and it also answered Bai Chen’s question about whether the real Bai Chen knew about Tang Yani’s eting with Wu Jinhai or not.
“Why did you two agree to keep everything a secret?” Once again, Bai Chen voiced his curiosity.
“That’s because your mother didn’t want you to know how you accidentally lost your Power Crystal when you were a child. She didn’t want you to feel bad about it, and that’s why she chose to hide my identity, afraid you’d find out that I was the one who stole your Power Crystal.”
“...” Bai Chen was at a loss for words after hearing Wu Jinhai’s further explanation.
The man probably wanted to take revenge on him by saying that he had stolen his Power Crystal, but Bai Chen’s focus was not on that.
“I have a feeling that you have t my mother often in the past, Wu Jinhai,” said the Werewolf Prince. “Now you better tell everything you know about my mother.”
